The Ends of the Humanities

ISSN: 2716-7550
 
Editors: Till Dembeck, Georg Mein, Johannes Pause, Christoph Purschke
 
Content: The book series "The Ends of the Humanities" assembles contributions that demonstrate how the work of the humanities brings about new approaches to the analysis and sustainable development of cultural practices. Contributions to this series will develop new empirical perspectives on current global issues and advance the borders of disciplinary self-reflection through theoretical accounts of scholarly work and the epistemological foundations of the humanities. They will engage with the complex dynamics of culture and with new forms of cultural engineering which evolve, for example, with digitization and the rise of artificial intelligence.
 
Review: The concept of each book is reviewed by the series editors in advance. Finished monographs are also evaluated by the series editors. The review of individual contributions to collected volumes is organized by the editors of these publications. In principle, any model from editor review to double-blind peer review is possible here, as long as it is guaranteed that every contribution is assessed. Since the series usually publishes interdisciplinary anthologies, it is the responsibility of the book editors to involve competent experts from all relevant disciplines in the review process. Contributions or monographs that do not meet the quality standards of the respective editors may be returned for revision or rejected.
 
Submission: Book proposals and manuscripts that are within the scope of the series can be submitted at any time to: johannes [dot] pause [at] uni [dot] lu. Submissions should comply with Melusina's template and guidelines (Link).

Luxemburger Musiklexikon

Editors: Ursula Anders-Malvetti, Alain Nitschké, Caroline Reuter, Damien Sagrillo, Jean Thill, Tina Zeiß-Zippel

Content: The Luxemburger Musikerlexikon is an encyclopedia of another kind. Not only does it provide detailed information about Luxembourg's composers and performers, but it also contains quotations from contemporaries or descendants as well as pictorial material.

The first volume contains articles about musicians who were active in Luxembourg and covers the period between 1815 and 1950. In 1815 the Luxembourgish State was recognised as a sovereign nation by the Congress of Vienna and thus gained its independance. 1950 stands for a break or a new beginning after the Second World War. The birth cohorts of the musicians in this volume cover a period from 1773 to 1914.

The 2nd volume contains articles on personalities of Luxembourg's musical life in the 20th and 21st centuries.

Thanks to the new version being online instead of in printed form, both volumes now have even more use, greater functionality and diverse worth and feel more dynamic, interactive and alive than ever. Through the use of hyperlinks, the articles are now both interconnected and connected to external sites. The articles being online also allows us to update and amend articles with ease as new information reaches us.

Review: Each article manuscript is reviewed by another peer and the musician/compser the article is about (in case the person has passed away, by a family member) in an unblinded review process. After copy-editing the editorial board carries out another review and makes a final decision on the publication.
